Sony LAM-Z03
Sony CD/MD combo PC speaker bookshelf system. Works as PC speakers over USB, and will also work as a netMD recorder after switching modes. Will work as PC speakers and with Sonicstage on Windows 10.
Can write discs through netMD using Sony's SonicStage or OpenMG software. Device playback can also be controlled using these programs. Can also record to MD from a CD directly at 4x speed.
Recently, support has been added for all LAM Series decks to web minidisc. This device has been tested and works completely without issue. You can also usePlatinum-MD v 1.2.0 or later to write discs (though it is quite buggy).
Some people have modified/refurbished their units to improve sound quality Part 1 and Part 2.
